    Sunday October 19, 2014

    Sunday October 19, 2014 Decided to use the Little Thompson Observatory’s telescopes tonight. I couldn’t connect to the 24”. Had connection failure issues. So I used the 18” f/14.2 and the 6” f/6 telescopes tonight. The 40mm eyepiece in 18” is 162x. The 22mm eyepiece in 6” is 41.5x. 7:00 PM. 68 degrees. Sky is clear. Wind is calm. Getting dark. Seeing and transparency Good. NGC 6929 7:27 PM 162x – Under a dim field star is this lopsided, faint, tiny oval glow. Glow goes to 2 o’clock from this star a tiny bit. Glow uniformly lit. NGC 6852 7:32 PM 162x – A brighter white star with very faint circular halo glow around it. With O3 see the halo a bit better and brighter. Star still prominent. NGC 6843 7:35 PM 162x – 7 very dim stars form this asterism in a small, rough circular pattern. NGC 6858 7:37 PM 162x – An asterism of 9 very dim stars in a diamond shape. NGC 6773 7:39 PM 162x – 5 stars form a box of 3 magnitudes with brightest still dim. PK 38-25.1 7:45 PM 162x – A stellar PN. A brighter white star. With O3, see a tiny bit of halo around it. It is small and hard to see. Looks like an out of focus star. Pal 11 7:49 PM 162x – With AV and waiting, see 3-4 very faint stars once in a while. In between a nice asterism pattern where picture shows it should be and where these 3-4 stars pop in.

    Expected Differences Between AGB Stars in the LMC and the SMC Due to Differences in Chemical Composition

    New Views of the Magellanic Clouds fA U Symposium, Vol. 190, 1999 Y.-H. Chu, N.B. Suntzef], J.E. Hesser, and D.A. Bohlender, eds. Expected Differences between AGB Stars in the LMC and the SMC Due to Differences in Chemical Composition Ju. Frantsman Astronomical Institute, Latvian University, Raina Blvd. 19, Riga, LV-1586, LATVIA Abstract. Certain aspects of the AGB population, such as the relative number of M and N stars, the mass loss rates, and the initial masses of carbon- oxygen cores, depend on the initial heavy element abundance Z. I have calculated synthetic populations of AGB stars for different initial Z values taking into consideration the evolution of single and close binary stars. I present the results of population syntheses of AGB stars in clusters as a function of different initial chemical compositions. The relation for the tip luminosity of AGB stars versus cluster age as a function of Z is presented and is used to determine the ages for a number of clusters in the LMC and the SMC, including clusters with no previous age determinations. Population simulations show that for low heavy element abundance (Z = 0.001) few M stars are formed with respect to the number of carbon stars. However, the total number of all AGB stars in clusters is not affected by the initial chemical composition. As a result of the evolution of close binary components after the mass exchange, an increase in the range of limiting values of the thermal pulsing AGB star luminosities is expected. The difference between the maximum luminosity on the AGB of single star and the luminosity of a star after a mass exchange event in a close binary system may be as great as 1 magnitude for very young clusters.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

    Massive Stellar Clusters ASP Conference Series, Vol. XX, 2000 A. Lan¸con & C. Boily, eds. Star Clusters in Local Group Galaxies – Impact of Environment on Their Evolution and Survival Eva K. Grebel1,2 1University of Washington, Department of Astronomy, Box 351580, Seattle, WA 98195, USA 2Hubble Fellow Abstract. Star clusters are found in ∼40% of the Local Group galax- ies. Their properties are reviewed. The impact of galaxy environment on the evolution and survival of star clusters is discussed. Possible evi- dence for cluster formation triggered by galaxy interactions, gradients in cluster size, metallicity and stellar content with galactocentric radius and variations as a function of galaxy type are briefly summarized. 1. Introduction Star clusters in Local Group galaxies comprise a wide range of roughly coeval stellar agglomerates ranging from globular clusters to associations, from very metal-poor objects to clusters with solar and higher metallicity, and from ancient populations to embedded young clusters. Three basic types of such clusterings are observed: globular clusters, open clusters, and associations. 1.1. Globular Clusters Globular clusters are centrally concentrated, spherical systems with masses of 4.2 ∼< log M[M⊙] ∼< 6.6 and tidal radii ranging from ∼ 10 to ∼ 100 pc. They are bound, long-lived (∼>10 Gyr) objects whose lifetimes may extend to a Hubble arXiv:astro-ph/9912529v2 30 Dec 1999 time or beyond, though due to various efficient destruction mechanisms the presently observed globulars are likely just a lower limit of the initial number of globular clusters. Globular clusters have been observed in all known types of galaxies, but many of the less massive galaxies do not contain globular clusters.

The data are mainly taken from the standard work Biographischer Index der Astronomie (Dick, Brüggenthies 2005). Some information has been added by the author (this especially concerns living twentieth-century astronomers). Members of the families of Dreyer, Lord Rosse and other astronomers (as mentioned in the text) are not listed.
